I'm afraid to knit on the go...for fear of making a mistake. I think my mistake is simply 'waiting'. grin. Thanks for the lovely post.

I think anything where you have to think about what you're doing, plan, keep track, check, maybe correct now and again keeps your brain going.<br /><br />It's so great to have an excuse, no that's not right a valid reason for buying wool, fabric etc. What frightens me is when I go through the cupboards and find something that I can't remember buying!<br /><br />That little girls cardi pattern looked quite an easy one so once I've finished Michelle's cross stitch and my lace shawl, I'll give it a go. <br /><br />I'll email you about creating additional blogs Anne.<br /><br />I'm so glad about the coffee, I saw that on telly and felt relieved about it after all the years they've said it's bad for you.<br /><br />My biggest worry is about Simvastatin the wonder drug of the western world! The government here seem obsessed with stuffing us with high doses of this drug to reduce our cholesterol despite the side effects which include loss of memory. I know I'm being naughty but I'm going to reduce my dosage. I argued with the doctor about it because the phamaceutical company instructions suggested half the dose the government want us to take. <br /><br />Oh I feel another posting coming on!Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-58313024256580612482009-08-05T12:10:41.759+01:002009-08-05T12:10:41.759+01:00Me again Winifred.

I used to tell her she had a memory like an elephant because she never forgot anything. I can't say that about myself. I think I have always been semi-demented. I will try to mend my ways :) We must also exercise our bodies or they too will fail. <br /> Oh, I almost forgot I heard drinking coffee is good for the memory my husband was happy about that he loves a few cups of coffee a day. His memory is incredible unless it is something he doesn't choose to remember.<br /><br />Happy knitting!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015642512286126041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-57037485250932655722009-08-05T11:22:47.587+01:002009-08-05T11:22:47.587+01:00Good to know!

I took it up because it also helps lower blood pressure (or at least that was one reason) and I know for a fact it helps me from going bonkers whenever I have to sit around for any length of time waiting.

I learned to knit years ago and I mean many years ago, but enjoy crocheting so much better. So never went back to knitting. I don't even know how to put the yarn on the needles anymore. So I guess I will stick to my crocheting for now.

I think after I have my cataract surgery I might be crocheting again. By the way, Abe thinks crocheting is knitting, I don't have the heart to tell him, it's two different things entirely. LOL Our daughters also crochet. They do cross stitching, scrap booking, all sorts of crafts. Me I just like the crocheting.

My wife's father ended up with alzheimers and it is sad. I suppose, though, if knitting does that for a person with dementia, it might do some good for ordinary people who might not be up to par in other ways. One wheel short of a wagon is rough hauling. I really enjoyed your post and since our four girls knit and my wife used to knit, but quit after two times with breast cancer, I will have to have them look at your post too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-15796855728635395262009-08-04T23:26:02.907+01:002009-08-04T23:26:02.907+01:00... will blogging qualify?
